BPW State Events
The are two main events at the state level of BPW/WA:
Fall Board in the Fall and State Conference in the Spring. Lobby
Day is in January in Olympia, WA in conjunction with other politically active
women's groups. All three events offer great networking opportunities and dynamic
speakers, training, and fun. Please join us at one of these events. Non-members
are always welcome.
BPW/WA Fall Board
Once a year BPW/WA has a Board of Directors meeting which
includes the BPW Executive Committee, State Board Members, State Standing Committee
Chairs, and Local Presidents. Although only the aforementioned members may vote at this
meeting, all members and non-members are encouraged to attend and speak. Below is an
excerpt from the BPW WBW (Washington Business Woman) Magazine on Fall Board which
happened on October 1, 2011.
Join Washington State Business and Professional Women

special event at YWCA Issaquah Family Village located at Highlands Dr NE & NE High
St, Issaquah, WA, 98029. Join Nancy Sorenson as she speaks about
"Packing Your Own Parachute." Lunch is included and don't forget to

Family Village.
